Put Down the Knife: 10 Halloween Painted Pumpkins

September 27th, 2016

Put down the knife! Once you’ve tried painted pumpkin decorating instead of carving, you’ll have a hard time putting down the paint brush. Handing your child a paintbrush to create their own Halloween pumpkin art is also safer than letting them use a knife.

10 Painted Pumpkin Ideas

Grab a bunch of mini pumpkins and turn kids’ creativity loose with paint, glitter, jewels or other embellishments and watch the fun. Another fun idea is to use glow-in-the-dark paint to over the designs for an added night time glow.

If you want your creations to last longer than a few weeks, try using fake pumpkins!

Once you’ve started decorating for fall or Halloween, why not have a party?  It can be as simple as a small get together with the neighbors or a trick or treat romp with the kids. 

Have guests bring their favorite side dish to go with a big crock pot of chili and dinner’s served.

If you’re going for a full-blown Halloween costume party, you’ll want to invite guests early enough to get your date reserved on their calendars. For the best turnout, mail Halloween Invitations that set the tone for your party and get guests excited to attend. Skip their inbox if you want a great response for your event.

Let us know if you’re going to try painted pumpkins this year!

How to Increase Halloween Party Attendance

August 16th, 2016

Anyone throwing a throwing a Halloween Party during the week of October 31st wants a good turnout. What novice party hosts may not realize is that it takes hard work and a bit of strategy to get that large turnout. 

How to Increase Halloween Party Attendance

Some will try to whip together a party at the last minute and there is a good chance the attendance will be lackluster. Preparation is the key to any amazing party during the holiday season. Whether you are part of a corporate Christmas party or a personal Halloween party there are a few key steps that can help when it comes to increasing the odds of invites showing up. Here are a few strategies that work well.

Prepare with the Right Party Invitations
With the advancements in technology it is easy to send a mass eCard through email or social media. Unfortunately, this shows very little effort. It is often true that recipients of this type of Halloween Party Invitation will never even open the email as it gets relegated to a spam inbox. To avoid this it is a wise choice to consider physical Halloween Party Invitations. Some of our popular Halloween party invitation themes are:

These are just a few of the many options that are available for Halloween. Selecting the Halloween Invitation that fits your party theme could increase the likelihood of attendance by 50% or more. When invitees receive a physical invitation in the mail or on their desk it shows that the party host has put forth the effort to reach out to everyone on a personal level. Another pro tip is to address the envelope personally. This may take a little bit of extra time and energy but it will go a very long way towards increasing the attendance of your Halloween party this October or early November.

Halloween Party Invitations Can Increase Attendance
Your Halloween Party Invitations are the first step in catching the attention of the invitee. If the party invitation is mailed with a printed address label and there is very little hand written content inside the invitation card it shows a minimal amount of effort.

On the flip side of that, if the envelope is hand addressed and there is a set of events that will happen at the party, on the inside the invitation, it makes the event much more attractive. When deciding on which Halloween party to attend, many party-goers will look at the theme of the party and the events that will take place.

By adding some fun and exciting activities such as karaoke, a scavenger hunt, board games or eating contests you will find that more people are likely to show up. If you plan on having some fun and interesting events as part of the Halloween party it is imperative to include this list of activities on your Halloween Party Invitations.

Know Your Audience
If you are hosting a party with children in attendance you will want to plan accordingly. If you are hosting an adult corporate party there are certain aspects of this party that will be attractive to those that may attend.

If the Halloween Party is for senior citizens at a retirement community you will want to create games and activities that are easy for these individuals. Seniors absolutely love the little things in life like ice cream, cake and candy. Halloween is the holiday when it comes to sweets, so it would make sense to have several candy dishes full of Reeses, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Rolos or any other type of popular candy or consider alternative options such as fruit or pastries.

If you’re already seeing retailers fill the promotional aisle with candy and Halloween decorations, it means it’s time to get started planning your amazing Halloween party.

We have over lots of Halloween Party Invitations with a theme that is sure to fit your party.

Company Party Invitations and Icebreaker Games

August 5th, 2016

Here are a couple of fun activities that will keep guests entertained at a company party, summer family barbeque, picnic or office party:

Ice Breaker Game – Sticker Stalker: All you need to play are stickers and your guests.  How to play:

  • The object of this game is to get rid of all your stickers by sticking them on the other guests (One sticker per guest).
  • When guests begin to arrive at your house or office, give each guest a pack/sheet of 10 stickers. However, if the guest you are “stickering” catches you, he/she gets to stick one of his/her stickers on you.
  •  If you are “caught”, you must temporarily take your sticker back, and you can try to sticker that same person later (at your own risk). But if someone falsely accuses you of “stickering” him/her, then you can automatically put one of your stickers on that person.
  • The first one to get rid of all 10 of their original stickers is the winner!

Name and Number Game. You will need Index cards, tape and writing utensils. How to play:

  • As people walk into the party, put their name on one side of an index card, and a number on the other side.
  • As everyone walks around with their name showing (on the index card that is taped to their shirt), they have to try to introduce themselves to as many people as they can.
  • After a bit of mingling, tell everyone to turn over his or her name tags, so that the number on each card is showing rather than the name.
  • Now give everyone a numbered piece of paper, and see who can fill in the most names next to the corresponding number.

Palm Tree All White Party Invitations are perfect for birthday party invitations, summer party invitations and more. See all our designs at Announcingit.com

Ice Breaker Game – Describe Me: You will need Index cards, tape and pens or pencils. How to play:

  • As guests arrive, make sure each person gets an index card taped to their back as well as a pencil.
  • Have your guests mingle, and meet each other.
  • As people get to know each other a little bit better, have each guest write their first impressions of the people they meet on the cards on their backs.
  • Make sure to tell your guests to write funny things, but to stay away from anything resembling rude or mean comments. Write things like “quick wit,” “million dollar smile,” “funny jokes,” etc.
  • After about 15-20 minutes, have each person read the card off the adjacent person’s back for a few laughs.

Quick Name Game:  This game combines quick knowledge of the names of the people at the party, as well as various items from different categories. All you need to play is your guests and a ball. How to play:

  • Have everyone sit/stand in a circle.
  • Go around the circle and have everyone say their first name, and then reveal a good way to remember their name.
  • The first person begins the game by announcing what the category is. For example, let’s say that the category is cars. The first person would then throw the ball at someone of his/her choice, and that person would have to say something that relates to the category of cars, as well as the name of the person who threw the ball.
  • Then as quickly as possible without skipping a beat, that person must throw it to another person of his/her choice.
  • When the next person gets the ball, he/she must say another thing that relates to the car category as well as the name of the person who just threw the ball and so on.
  • If someone flubs a name or a category then he/she is out. The person who is left sitting in the circle last is the winner. However, if you would rather just focus on getting to know everyone and having fun, you can award prizes at the end for “Quickest Thinker,” “Worst With Names,” “Best/Worst Passer” etc.
